JQuery :: How To Stylize The Scrollbars

Oct 10, 2011

I was checking on jQuery plugins, but most of the scrollbar ones are using like 4 - 5 div classes just to stylize one scrollbar and most of the classes names must be specific to make it work with the plugin, is there any way to give some style to a scrollbar without doing all that coding?

How exactly does the sizing of the grid work? I have a grid that I've tried to experiment with and it seems like no matter what setting I use, there is a vertical and a horizontal scrollbar. the only thing that changes is if it stretches to fill the its container div. How do I get it to fit within a specific width and also to not display scrollbars?

I have a div that is filled with content dynamically and is fixed so it will always be in the same place even when you scroll. I need scrollbars to appear when the div is has too much content and goes beyond the screenborder.

I have a site project where I'm using an overlay to display an iframe that contains a slide show. When the overlay/iframe loads there is a scrollbar on the parent window. What would be the proper jquery syntax to write a function that tells the parent window to set overflow to hidden to hide the scrollbar when the iframe loads? I was thinking maybe this, but I'm not sure of the correct syntax:

I have an application that resizes itself upon window resize. Theproblem is that if I resize down the window so it is smaller, twoscrollbars appear during resize (nothing new for now...), but thecomputed body width is the width with the scrollbars.Then, when I stop resizing, my app resizes itself, but as you may haveguessed, there are a small empty space on right and bottom,corresponding to the scrollbars.I have not found a pretty way to do it (of course I could set a timerinside my resize function that will call itself again 10ms later, just

To everybody who's interested,here is a nice cross-browser script which will zoom the page in case it isdesigned for a minimum resolution. The script will zoom the page to fit the width of the window so that the user does not have to scroll the page to the right or to the left.minW is the minimum width for your homepage to look good.divWrap is a DIV with which you should wrap your entire homepage.This script will also work when the window is resized.

Say I have a site that's centered on the page, and do $ ("#some_content").slideDown(). If the appearance of the new content means that the page no longer fits in the browser window, scrollbars will appear, and so the available page width decreases slightly, and so my centered content jumps left while it's sliding down. Is there a decent workaround for this? Best I can figure out at the moment is to persuade the browser to always display scrollbars, which isn't exactly ideal.

IE6 in standards mode doesn't seem to hide scrollbars on the body element(overflow:hide) Ain't this a quandary. I have it in my head that I need tospecify html instead. The scrollbars do hide on Gecko browsers though, sothere is definitely a disagreement among browser developers on how toimplement scrollbars (as a side note, Gecko browsers with their notoriouslybug-ridden resize code seem to always screw up when asked to stretch andscroll divs, even when the page is reloaded on every resize!)

My first thought is to modify the CGI that generates the style sheet as Ialready have code that deprecates the document type when hidden scroll barsare required on IE6 (but not IE5.) This is based on the simple empiricalevidence that the scroll bars are still there on IE6 in standards mode, sothe optimal document type (XHTML strict) cannot be used. So I could justchange this to output an html style (rather than a body style) for IE6 andlose the deprecation (it wouldn't be needed at this point.)

So the question is this. Given that CGI-based processing of browserversions for these kinds of tweaks is taboo, what would you check on theclient side before dynamically generating the style for the body and/or htmlelement? It doesn't seem like you could just send both as this would surelybreak some older browsers (I know you can do tricks with comments and such,but that only works for NS4 and maybe IE3 AFAIK.)

documentElement is the only thing I can think of that indicates standardsmode and NS6/Mozilla support this AFAIK.

IE Conditional comments perhaps? I would hate to hard-code a test for abrowser version number into the actual document (for obvious reasons), but Iguess it is an alternative if the browser version is exposed to thesethings.

I don't see any other way to deal with a situation like this than withserver-side code that looks at the browser's version number and makes thenecessary adjustment. And there are lots of little differences like thisthat just don't seem to have viable client-only solutions. There's DirectXstuff (probably is an object detect for that) and funky colored scrollbars(hey people ask for them) and document margins (Opera did them slightlydifferently than the rest as I recall) and now this scrollbar thing.

I have used a textarea to display typewriter effect text. The scrollbars are displayed by default. What is the code to disable the scrollbars in a textarea form field? < scrolling="no"> does not seem to work.

in the parent window, i have some objects that will release a pop-up window. in the pop-up window you can make various changes that will affect the database. to see those changes in the parent window, i need to refresh...right?

well, when i refresh...if you're working at the bottom of the page it pops the scrollbars all the way back up to the top. is there a way to reposition the scrollbars without the use of anchors?

Is there anyway to detect if scrollbars were made visible in atextarea? I'm not talking about initial setting of the scrollingattribute, but rather whether scrollbars have been added eitherhorizontally or vertically based on the users text input?

I'm looking for an solution to find out the real vertical viewport -without the height of horizontal scrollbars.

I have two frames side by side. The left one declared 'scrolling="no"'and the right one 'scrolling="auto"'. For the left frame it is importantto know if the right frame has a horizontal scrollbar and how sick itis. So I have tried to compare the viewport of both frames.

Using 'window.innerHeight', 'document.documentElement.clientHeight','document.body.clientHeight' or 'document.body.offsetWidth' I get theheight including the scrollbars.

The same problem with two frames (rows="50%,50%) i've solved with blockelements declared with a width of 100%. Comparing the offsetWidth ofboth, I can see if there is a scrollbar in one frame. But with framesside by side that doesn't work.

I am trying to add a link to a web page which will open a new window which has no scrollbars ,toolbars,menu etc for a nice clean look(the window will display a flash image display gallery) I know you do this with javascript but am having trouble placing the javascript in the html ,what would be ideal is if someone was kind enough to give me an example of exactly how the complete page code would look with the javascript included,it need only be a very simple page with no content except the link which maybe we could just call sample.

I setup the image popup ( http://www.sitepoint.com/article/res...it-images-size) on our portfolio:www.visualdevelopments.com/portfolio but the large image I want to display the whole thing. Can I set this somehow to add scrollbars so the user can see the entire image if the image is larger then their screen size?

I have an iFrame on which I wish to display scrollbars ONLY when the mouse is over the iFrame AND the source of the iFrame is larger than the iFrame can display I am using the following code for the iFrame but believe that I need to add some script to make it work:
